The Network of Academic and Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) and PlayVS are collaborating together to provide scholastic esports competition opportunities for California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) high schools.
Visit CIF Esports to learn more about the upcoming season.
Overview
The Network of Academic and Scholastic Esports Federations (NASEF) is partnered with PlayVS as the official esports competition platform for the CIF Esports Initiative League. This partnership provides all CIF member schools with access to top titles on the PlayVS platform.
For the Fall, PlayVS will power the NASEF CA Fall Open and for the Spring, the CIF Esports Initiative x NASEF League competition season.
CIF member schools can practice and improve their gameplay before the Spring season by participating in the 8-week NASEF CA Fall Open. We are also excited to announce league play for an additional game title, Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe!
